The book aims to give readers new insights from cultural anthropology, medical anthropology and intercultural communication, and contains assignments showing how to apply these in day-to-day intercultural situations. Because good communication is vital in healthcare situations.Miscommunication due to a lack of intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes can result in lower quality care for patients and less effective consultations or treatment. Better communication contributes to a good relationship with patients, and their satisfaction leads to enhanced healthcare outcomes. It also contributes to patient safety, improves adherence to treatment and benefits efficiency in health care.The aim of this book is to acquire intercultural sensitivity and intercultural competence, to work well with patients and co-workers from all cultural backgrounds.

The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
